Re: [e4-dev] E4-Workbench needs a new plugin
|
Hi Ralf,
Yes this is the intenion and if I manage to commit the patch from
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=266533 into the codebase
it is completely free of SWT and only one reference is left because of
IStructuredSelection (which will eventually go away too someday).
I already exchanged the underlying platform using UFaceKit [1] and
yesterday in the night succeeded running on QT(Jambi) today.
There are 2 intenions currently:
a) Remove SWT from the core of the workbench to make it completely
widget-toolkit agnostic
b) Move the Renderers (the part which is responsible to translate an
Workbench-Model-Object into a visual representation) out and
replaceable because this is how themeing will work in E4

Just to inform you I've today factored out some code from the

"org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.renderers.swt".
Is it the intention to remove all dependencies to SWT from the workbench
eventually? I noticed that only a few classes still contain references
to SWT/JFace.
This would be good news for RAP since we could easily exchange the
renderers with RWT ones and leave the workbench as is.
